We were than 2/3 high at the spot where you had the shops, the restaurant and the hostel. We still had to go up the steps to get at the top of the hill.

One of the biggest hill was transformed into a touristic viewpoint and we were dropped at the foot.
It was about 1km uphill...
or you could go up by motorbike.

It really was breathtaking to see more of 2000 of these brown hills all around you and we stayed there for about an hour to enjoy the scenery.

We walked back, and while we went down, the sky was getting very very dark; rain just had to be next.

We allready got the thunder and the lightning but only at the bottom, while waiting for our transportation, it started to rain very hard.
A small van stopped to pick us up and it would take another 20 minutes before the rain would stop, but by the time we got in the city, you couldn't tell it rained (and maybe it didn't in Tagbilaran).
